Key Review Excerpts

From the first day til the day she was discharged nothing but kind, professional personal that is caring. And mom made a few friends while she was there.

Long-term resident's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

She's 80. They we're able to get her up and going so that she could go home where she lives alone. They also sent people to her home when she did get there to help her continue her physical therapy.

Rehab patient's family · 2026★★★★

My mom has been there for almost 2 months just for the rehab. In that time they've ignored the call bell, left her on the toilet for an hour and also allowed a wound from her back surgery to become iinfected twice.
